I hwe had a simular problem with time(), but the problem did turn out to
be in the functions _dos_getcwd and _dos_setdir (and posible som
of the other _dos_* stuff) how was responsible.
This was du to a bug in Microsoft C-compiler 5.0, that we discowerd
in a book abot Windows programing (it was 'Grafic Window Programming'
or someting simular to that i think)

And i used the funktion DlgDirList() to change directory.
